Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting<br />
What voltage is required to control animals?<br />
4 kV is widely accepted as the recommended minimum voltage to control animals. However,<br />
you also require a well constructed fence system to ensure that animals cannot push through<br />
electrified wires.<br />
The fence voltage is below 4 kV. How do I increase the voltage?<br />
Check the energiser. Ensure that the energiser is not set on half power. Disconnect the<br />
energiser from the fence and earth system. Measure the voltage across the energiser terminals<br />
with a PATURA Remote Control Fence Compass, DVM or Fence Tester. If the voltage is less than<br />
6 kV, request your PATURA service agent to check the energiser.<br />
Check the energiser earthing. Use the procedure described in “Installing and testing an earth<br />
system” on page 53.<br />
Check your fence system for faults. The most common source of low voltage is faults on the<br />
fence line.<br />
If the fence, earth and energiser are in good condition and the voltage is still below 4 kV, talk<br />
to your PATURA distributor. They will help you identify whether recent extensions to your fence,<br />
a poor fence layout, or soil conditions may be causing inadequate voltage.<br />
How do I locate faults?<br />
The recommended tool for locating faults is the PATURA Remote Control Fence Compass. This<br />
combined voltage and current meter allows you to rapidly locate sources of current leakage.<br />
Alternatively, use a PATURA DVM or Fence Tester. Use cutout switches to turn off the power to<br />
different sections of the electric fence. If the voltage on the fence increases when a section of<br />
the electric fence is turned off, then investigate that section for possible faults.<br />
There are no lights flashing on the energiser.<br />
Check the power supply. Ensure that the power is switched on. If the energiser still does not<br />
operate, request your PATURA service agent to check the energiser.<br />
The energiser does not respond to commands from the Remote Control Fence Compass.<br />
Ensure that the remote contact on the Remote Control Fence Compass is in contact with the<br />
fence wire before pressing or . (Holding the button down for an extended period will<br />
not make the remote control work better.) After pressing or , wait for two seconds for<br />
the ON or OFF message to disappear form the display, as the energiser may send out a final<br />
pulse after receiving the signal to deactivate. Similarly, allow two seconds for the energiser to<br />
